SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 667,340, dated February 5, 1901.

Application led August 13, 1900l Serial No. 26,779. KNO model.)

To all whom if; may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES E. SAGUE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Schenectady, in the county of Schenectady and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Locomotives,of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to that class of locomotives in which the fire-box is made of extra width in order to obtain an ample grate area without unreasonably increasing the length thereof. It is desirable that the firebox should be located at the rear of the locomotive in order that the fireman and engineer may be together. In such locomotives it is necessary to provide one or more pairs of supporting or trailing wheels under the fire-box, and in order to obtain the greatest width of fire-box and ash-pan the sides of the ash-pan should be brought as close as possible to the inner sides of the trailing wheels. In the improved locomotive hereinafter described the axle-boxes of the trailing wheels are arranged outside the truck-frame, by which construction the sides of the ash-pan may be arranged close to the inner sides of the trailing wheels, thus giving to the ash-pan a greater width than could be obtained where the axle-boxes are arranged inside the wheels. Such an arrangement also prevents the journals of the trailing wheels from being heated by close proximity to the ash-pan. The bearings are readily accessible for oiling, 85o., and the lateral dist-ance between the points of support is increased, thus making the engine much steadier and freer from a tendency to roll, as is the case where the axle-boxes are arranged inside the wheels.

Vhile, broadly stated, it is not new to arrange the axle-boxes of trailers outside the wheels, it is new to so arrange the axle-boxes in connection with the improved devices employed for equalizing the weight, as hereinafter described.

The equalizing mechanism is of an improved construction and arranged in an improved way. Springs are mounted on top of the axleboxes of the driving-wheels and the trailers and they are connected together by links and levers in such manner as to properly distribut e the weight. The dre-box is of extra width, as above stated, and it is supported on devices which allow slight longitudinal movement incident to expansion and contraction, while preventing lateral movement or lurch ing. i

The present invention also involves certain improvements in the main frame of the truck specially adapted for a locomotive of the type before mentioned. Theseimprovements, together with further details of construction, will be hereinafter fully explained.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 shows a side elevation of a locomotive embodying the present invention. Fig. 2 is a plan View of the truck thereof. The remaining figures are on an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 is a View in side elevation of a portion of the rear end of the locomotive. Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the same with the boiler removed. Fig. 5 shows a cross-section on the line 5 5 of Fig. 2. Fig. 6 shows a crossseotion on the line 6 6 of Fig. 2. Fig. 7 shows a cross-section on the line 7.7 of Fig. 2. Fig. 8 is a plan view of a portion of one of the side pieces of the main frame. Fig. 9 shows a side elevation of the same. Fig. 10 is a plan view of one of the outside frame-pieces. Fig. 1l shows a side elevation of the same. Fig. 12 shows perspective views of filling-pieces employed for separating the outside framepieces from the side pieces of the main frame. Fig. 13 shows a bottom plan view of the foundation-ring of the fire-box. Fig. 14 shows a side elevation thereof. Fig. 15 is a top plan view of a cross-beam employed v/for bracing the side pieces of the main frame between the trailing wheels and the driving-wheels and for supporting the front end of the lire-box. Fig. 16 shows a front elevation of the same. Fig. 17 shows a cross-section thereof on the line 17 17 of Fig. 16. Fig. 18 is a detail view in plan, showing a modified way of connecting the springs of the trailing wheels with the springs of the driving-wheels. Fig. 19 shows a side elevation of the same. Fig. 2 is a detail View in plan, showing another modified way of connecting the springs of the trailing wheels with the springs of the driving-wheels; and Fig. 21 shows a side elevation of the same.

The boiler A and cab B, with their appurtenances, are of usual construction. The fire-box A] and ash-pan A2 are of an improved IOO construction and are mounted on an improved frame supported on driving-wheels C, trailing wheels D, and pilot-wheels E. The main frame is continuous, the front ends of the side pieces H thereof being secured toa buffer F, while the rear ends are connected by a frame G. The sides H are each made in two parts, the part h being preferably of relatively small area in cross-section, its front end being secured to a bracket h', attachedY to the buffer, while its rear end is keyed between the jaws h2 h3 of a skeleton frame H', which extends therefrom to the rear crossframe G. This frame H is formed with pedestals or guides H3 H4 for the boxes cof the driving-wheels. The frame-pieces H', it will be observed,extend continuously to the back end of the locomotive over the axle of the trailing wheels, thereby transmitting the strains in a straight line. l

It will be observed by reference to Figs. 2, 8, and 9 that the rear end of each side piece His made relatively narrow by being reduced at h4 and h5, so as to increase the space between them to permit of the use of a wide ash-pan. The side pieces h and H' of the main frame on opposite sides are similar in form and are connected at their rear ends to the foot-plate I, which is bolted to them.

The outside frame pieces or plates J are of the form shown in Figs. 10 and ll, each having a guide or pedestal d extending over the axle-box of the corresponding trailer, and

they are arranged outside the vertical plane of the trailing wheels overthe trailing axle. The rear ends of the frame-pieces H' also extend above the trailing axle and inside the wheels, as indicated in Figs. 2 and 6.

Filling-pieces K (shown in perspective in Fig.12) are interposed between the front ends of the outsideframe-pieces J, and the adjacent sides of the frame-pieces H' are bolted thereto. The outside frame-pieces J and the inside frame-pieces H' are also connected together between the cross-frame G and the trailing axle by means of bolts. (Shown particularly in Fig; 4l.) The bolt J' on each side of the truck extends through a sleevej, interposed between the plates J and H'. The bolt J' is provided with a colla-rj2 on its outer end, and it is also extended from this collar outwardly to receive the hubj3, to which a link l7'4 is connected. A bolt J8 is also employed for connecting the plates J and H' on each side of the truck. This bolt is headed on the outside atjloand shouldered atj. It is screw-threaded at its inner endv and receives a nut j. By means of the bolts J3 and J and the parts connected therewith the frame-pieces are securely united. A bolt J", similar to the bolt J3, is also employed for connecting the e-xtre me front end of the plate J with the corresponding inner plate I-I'. Filling-pieces G' are interposed between the rear ends of the plates J and H and are securely bolted thereto by the shortl bolts g., while a long through-bolt Gr2 is made to pass through the rear ends of all the frame-pieces J and H and through the flanges of the filling-pieces G' and the foot-plate I. By this construction a very strong and rigid supporting-frame is provided, which is proof against lateral as well as longitudinal strains that may be brought upon the frame by the working of the locomotive.

In order to connect the boiler firmly to the lglck end of the frame and at the same time allow for freedom of expansion, a novel method of supporting the lire-box is provided. The bottom of the foundation-ring M (shown in Figs. 13 and 14) is formed with projections fm, m', and m2, which have machined surfaces and which project below the lower edges of the fire-box, as indicated in Figs. 6 and 7. The projections 'm are located on opposite sides of the re-box a little to the rear of the middle portion thereof. The projections m' are arranged at the sides of the fire-box, near the front thereof, While the two projections 'm2 are arranged under the front edge of the fire-box at equal distances from its opposite ends. The projections m2 rest upon machined surfaces ln, formed on a cross-beam N, connecting the plates H' of the main frame in the manner indicated in Fig. 7. The projections 'm rest on brackets O, secured t0 the outside frame-pieces J directly over the axle ofthe trailing wheels. These brackets O have longitudinal flanges o, into which the projections m extend, which construction prevents lateral expansion, but allows a longitudinal movement incident to expansion or contraction of the boiler. There might be a tendency for the frame-pieces J to bend just over the trailing axle; but the flanged brackets connected to the foundation-ring in the manner above described prevent any such bending. The projections m rest on brackets P, secured to the frame-platesJ near their front ends, as indicated in Figs. 3 and 7.

In order to hold the front end of the firebox close to the frame and to provide against lurching or rolling and side motion of the front end of the fire-box, plates Q are provided. These are bolted to the sides of the lire-box and extend down below the foundation-ring and at their lower ends are each provided with a liange q, fitting under a shoulder q' in the bracket P. It will be observed that the brackets O and P extend across the 'edges of the plates J. The upper surfaces of the brackets are machined correspondingly with the machined under surfaces of the projections fm, and m'.

The foundation-ring is formed at its rear end on its under side witha ange m5, to which is secured a plate R, which is bolted at fr to the rear cross-frame G. This plate Ris slotted, as shown in Fig. 5, to extendlover the main frame-pieces H', while its opposite side edges are arranged inside the frame-pieces J. The plate R being thin opposes practically no resistance to longitudinal bending, and thus permits free expansion and contraction IOO IIO

of the boiler, whereas it has great strength vertcally and laterally, and thus secures the boiler to the frame and prevents any danger of lateral or vertical motion.

The lire-box, it Will be observed, extends laterally outside the plane ofthe wheels, while the ash-pan extends below the plane of the axles, but is suitably shaped on its under side to extend over the axle of the trailing wheels.

Springs S are mounted on the axle-boxes of the trailers. One end of each spring is connected with a link j, projecting from the hub 7'3, mounted ou the bolt J'. The opposite end of each spring S is connected with a link s', which is pivotally connected at s2 with an equalizing-bar S', which extends crosswise of the truck and connects the link s' of one spring S with the corresponding link s' on the opposite side of the truck. The bar S', it will be observed by reference to Fig. 2, extends beneath the frame-pieces H and J and a short distance beyond the outside of the frame-piece J, so as to bein line with t-he springs S. The springs S are of suicient length to hold the links s' in such position as to support the cross equalizing-bar S' in front of the trailing wheels. On top of each axle-box c of the drivers is mounted a spring T. The axleboxes of the drivers, it will be observed, are arranged inside the wheels, and the springs T are therefore out of line with the springs S. The front end of each spring T of each front driving-wheel is connected by links t with a bracket t on the corresponding frame-piece H'. The opposite end of each of these springs is connected by links t2 with a lever T2, centrally pivoted between vertical plates 153, secured to the frame-piece H'. The opposite end of the lever T2 is connected to one end of the spring T of the corresponding rear driver, while the rear end of this spring is connected by links t4 with the front end of a longitudinal equalizing-lever U, pivoted at u to a bracket U', secured to the frame-piece H'. As shown in the drawings, the bracket U' is provided wit-h two bolt-holes; but only one need be provided, two being employed for the purpese of adjustment, if desired. The levers U are free to rock on their pivots, and their rear ends extend over and rest on the cross equalizing-barS'. The arrangement of springs and connections is the same on opposite sides of the truck and it is such that the weight is evenly distributed. Any unusual weight occurring over the trailing wheels is transmitted partially to the springs of the drivingwheels. It will be observed that the brackets U' are arranged directly under the brackets P, which support the frontend of the tire-box, and thus the load is more directly transmitted. 1t will also be observed that the front ends of the frame-pieces J terminate in rear of the rear driving-wheels.'

While it is important that the springs S should be arranged on top of the axle-boxes of the trailing wheels, the springs T may be hung from the axle-boxes of the driving- Wheels instead of being arranged on top of them, as shown.

The arrangement of the double frame, formed by the side pieces H' and the outside pieces J affords a very etlicient method of hanging the brakes. As indicated, the brakeshoes are hung from the pins J3 and J4, the driving-wheels being arranged about midway between the plates J and H' and the pins J3 and J4 being in proper position to hang the brake-shoes.

In some cases it is desirable to dispense with the cross-bar S', as it is often desirable to secure the full length of the ash-pan and avoid the necessity of reducing its area in order to accommodate the cross-bar in the manner indicated in Fig. 3 by dotted lines. To accomplish this, the link s' on each side of the truck may be connected to a lever V, arranged diagonally, as indicated in Figs. 18 and 19. This lever is pivoted to a bracket V', depending from a filling-piece n, arranged between the front end of the plate J and the plate H'. The opposite end of the lever Vis connected by a link t4 with the rear end of the spring T over the axle-box of the rear driving-wheel. The lever V is inclined sufficiently to permit of the connection of the two springs; but the inclination is slight and will permit the ash-pan to extend forward without reduction more than sufficient to accommodate the axle of the trailers.

Instead of employing a diagonally-arranged lever the construction shown in Figs. 2O and 21 may be used. V' depends from a filling-piece fu, secured to the frame-plates J and H' on each side of the truck, and carries a journal-box, through which extends a short shaft W, to the outer end of which is secured an arm w, attached to the link s'. The inner end of the shaft W carries an arm w', attached to the link t4. The shaft W is just long enough to permit the spring S to be connected with the spring T, which latter is inside the vertical plane of the spring S. The latter arrangement is perhaps better adapted to accommodate the brake mechanism, as it aords more clearance for the brakes. The arrangement on opposite sides of the truck is of course precisely the same.

While the drawings show two sets of driving-wheels and two pairs of pilot-wheels, the invention is obviously applicable where a single pair of driving-wheels or more than two pairs are employed or to a locomotive in which a two-Wheeled forward truck is used. It is obvious also that the invention may be applied to a locomotive having two or more pairs of supporting or trailing wheels with outside bearings instead of one pair of such wheels.

I do not herein claim the specific forms of equalizing mechanism shown in Figs. 18 to 21,

inclusive, as such mechanism is claimed in my application for patent filed October 19, 1900, the mechanism shown in Figs. 18 and In this instance a bracket IOO IIO
